Microsoft 1027 Keyboard and Mouse Combination

Topic

New Reply

I have a friend who has a Microsoft Wireless Comfort Keyboard and mouse combination 1027.
I am trying to locate a manual (if one exists) the main purpose is to switch on or off (I don’t know which), a toggle which controls the Function Keys, the default (or as the Keyboard is set) is that you cannot access the Function Keys until this key is pressed. Very annoying on booting the system.

I have located the site http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/d/wireless-comfort-keyboard, it does under the heading of manuals suggest a product guide, this is a document in many languages and does not assist. Also on this site is different software for USB and PS/2, the wireless sender unit has two cables one USB the Other PS/2 my mate connects both, I reckon only one should be used. The is also a difference in the software,

IntelliType 8.2 32-bit for Windows XP (exe) for USB

IntelliType Pro 7.1 32-bit for Windows XP (exe) for PS/2

The version numbers are different also the 7.1 for PS/2 has the word PRO in its title.

I have not used any IntelliType software for many years, if my memory is correct I think the manual/on screen help is within the software.

To my mind at the moment the combination is using generic XP drivers.

I have posted on other forums but no answers, has anybody got one of these?

See if Microsoft Mouse and Keyboard Center is listed under All Programs. If it is open it up and see if there is anything helpful there.

Problem solved.

I connected via the USB cable only.

Downloaded and installed USB Driver IntelliType from

Downloaded and installed USB driver IntelliPoint from

The mouse and keyboard were automatically detected correctly. And have many self explanatory options.

Thanks to all
